What To Do About A Smelly Vagina

If you are wondering what to do about a smelly vagina

, then first of all, it is important that you understand that it is rarely an issue with poor hygiene. Indeed, when most women realise that they have a problem, the first thing they do is start washing very frequently and try using all kinds of perfumed products and wipes to mask the problem.

It is very easy to become frustrated, wondering what you are doing wrong and it is easy to think that there is nothing else you can do, other than keep washing. If this is what you are doing, then stop right away! Overwashing can actually cause this problem in the first place and will certainly make the issue worse.

Try the following steps to get you feeling fresh again:-

* Wash no more than twice daily, using unperfumed soap. Overwashing and the use of perfumed products can strip the vagina of its natural lubricants which can, in turn, cause a reaction which causes the growth of harmful bacteria

* Try wearing only cotton panties. Synthetic fabrics trap warmth and moisture, creating the perfect conditions for the growth of bacteria

* If having intercourse, use a condom until the condition settles down

* Try wearing a thin panty pad and changing it regularly throughout the day. This should help "capture" some of the odor

* Always ensure you remove the last tampon of your period and change sanitary protection regularly

Having bad vaginal odor is usually a result of an imbalance of bacteria within the vagina, causing the very common condition known as bacterial vaginosis. If you want to know what to do about a smelly vagina in terms of a permanent cure, you need to look at tackling the underlying causes.
